Text to type
We have seen that with all its vaunted love of humanity it has proved itself the greatest menace to Man, far worse than the sudden outbursts of nomadic barbarism from which men suffered in the early ages of history. We have seen that, in spite of its boasted love of freedom, it has produced worse forms of slavery than ever were current in earlier societies,--slavery whose chains are unbreakable, either because they are unseen, or because they assume the names and appearance of freedom. We have seen, under the spell of its gigantic sordidness, man losing faith in all the heroic ideals of life which have made him great. Therefore you cannot with a light heart accept the modern civilization with all its tendencies, methods and structures, and dream that they are inevitable. You must apply your Eastern mind, your spiritual strength, your love of simplicity, your recognition of social obligation, in order to cut out a new path for this great unwieldy car of progress, shrieking out its loud discords as it runs. You must minimize the immense sacrifice of man's life and freedom that it claims in its every movement. For generations you have felt and thought and worked, have enjoyed and worshipped in your own special manner; and this cannot be cast off like old clothes. It is in your blood, in the marrow of your bones, in the texture of your flesh, in the tissue of your brains; and it must modify everything you lay your hands upon, without your knowing, even against your wishes. Once you did solve the problems of man to your own satisfaction, you had your philosophy of life and evolved your own art of living. All this you must apply to the present situation, and out of it will arise a new creation and not a mere repetition, a creation which the soul of your people will own for itself and proudly offer to the world as its tribute to the welfare of man. Of all countries in Asia, here in Japan you have the freedom to use the materials you have gathered from the West according to your genius and your need.

A practice test to the published rules. Not the official software, and not a certificate.

Questions

How is my speed worked out?

Keystrokes in the time used, five to a word, as SSC counts them. KDPH is the same count for an hour.

Do mistakes I correct count?

No. Only the text in the box when the time is up or you submit is checked, word by word, against the text to type.

How many mistakes are allowed?

SSC sets it for each post and category and publishes it with the results. In CHSL 2025, LDC and JSA allowed 7% for unreserved candidates and 10% for other categories, and DEO 5% and 7%. The result gives your full and half mistakes to check against the notice for your post.

Is this the real SSC software?

No. It follows SSC's published rules so you can practise to them, but it is not the exam's software.
